Fergie Jenkins’ Game-Used Cap: A Testament to Baseball Excellence

A Legendary Career

Fergie Jenkins, a name synonymous with baseball greatness, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991. His illustrious career is marked by numerous achievements, including winning the NL Cy Young Award in 1971. That year, Jenkins showcased his prowess on the mound with a remarkable record of 24-13, a 2.77 ERA, 30 complete games, and an astounding 263 strikeouts. His legacy is further immortalized by the retirement of his No. 31 by the Chicago Cubs, a testament to his enduring impact on the franchise.

The Cap: A Piece of Baseball History

This extraordinary cap, once worn by Jenkins, is a rare and coveted piece of baseball memorabilia. Inside the rear sweatband, a “Wilson” manufacturer’s tag is prominently displayed, accompanied by a “7 3/8” stamp. These details attest to the authenticity and historical significance of the cap.

Jenkins has personally signed the underside of the brim in black pen, adding the inscription “HOF 91 1971” along with two doodle drawings. Additionally, he signed the topside of the brim in silver marker with the inscription “HOF 91.” Both autographs, in our expert opinion, rate an impressive 8 overall, enhancing the cap’s allure and value.
